Small correction.
  "never_direct allow" simply blocks the local proxy connecting to the
origin server via DNS lookups.

This setup works because the parent is allowed to be used by the default
cache_peer_access settings and FIRST_UP_PARENT algorithm is the default
selection method for Squid (so the sibling does not get used as
preferred peer).
